3M Novec 7200 Engineered Fluid Higher Boiling Vapor Degreasing
Chemistry: Ethoxy-nonafluorobutane
Boiling Point: 76°C
GWP: 55
NVR: 1.0 ppm max
Packing: 5 kg / 20 kg drum
3M Novec 7200 Engineered Fluid is a clear, colorless, low-odor fluid based on ethoxy-nonafluorobutane (C₄F₉OC₂H₅). With a higher boiling point of 76°C compared to Novec 7100 (61°C), it reduces evaporative losses, making it ideal for vapor degreasing, cold cleaning, and specialty solvent applications. This proprietary fluid offers zero ozone depletion potential and an exceptionally low GWP of 55, with an atmospheric lifetime of less than one year. Its low surface tension (13.6 dynes/cm) and low viscosity (0.61 cP) ensure excellent wetting and penetration for effective cleaning of complex geometries.
Novec 7200 provides a unique combination of properties: high purity (99.0% min) with non-volatile residue (NVR) as low as 1.0 ppm maximum, making it suitable for precision cleaning of sensitive electronic components. Its chemical and thermal stability, nonflammability (no flash point), and low toxicity (exposure guideline 200 ppm) make it a safe and sustainable replacement for CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and chlorinated solvents. Applications include vapor degreasing, cold cleaning, lubricant carrier for fluorocarbons/hydrocarbons/silicones, specialty solvents, dispersion media, reaction media, extraction solvents, and heat transfer fluids.
